• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. We are all here with regard to this matter which is of national interest. I will guide you to make this decision and urge you to invoke the traditions used, not only in the Kenyan Parliament, but also in the larger Commonwealth countries.

• 30 Dec 2014 in Senate: In terms of process, it says: “The Constitution exercises oversight of the service through relevant committees.” Then the Act itself is why I am going to be this specific. Section 58 says:- Security Laws (Amendment) Act is amended by deleting the word ‘Parliament” and substituting the word ‘National Assembly.’ At least, if you want to take anything from my house, you need to follow a process of consultation with this House.

• 2 Dec 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in sending condolences to all the victims of these attacks. The Quran asks us; are they equal those who know and those who know not?

The arrogance and the nature of the Jubilee Government is not to accept that it does not know and seek the coordination, collaboration and partnership of those who know. The truth is that crime is sophisticated. These are not challenges that other countries ... view
